To make a mountain out of a molehill 小题大做
大家好,欢迎收听 BBC 英语教学的《》节目。我是冯菲菲,还有我的搭档 Rob。Are you OK Rob?
Rob
No, I'm not. I haven't finished writing the script for this programme – I still don't know how it's going to end.
Rob 为了写这个节目的稿子,急得团团转,不至于吧!Rob, it's not important.
Rob
What?! A script is not important – how am I going to make this programme word-perfect, without any mistakes? What will the audience think of me?
At the moment, they probably think you are a little crazy – 你这样的反应有点儿过火吧,you're overreacting Rob – you're making a mountain out of a molehill.
Rob
Making a mountain out of a molehill! I won't be making any mountains, I haven't got time.
No, Rob – it's just a saying! Make a mountain out of a molehill 是一个固定表达,意思就是“小题大做,反应过激”。So, calm down Rob, it's not a big issue not having a script, is it?
Rob
[silence]
Rob?
Rob
Er, I don't know what to say. It's not on the script.
Oh dear – we'd better hear some other examples of this phrase.
Examples
I only asked him to do the shopping and now he's going on about how he has no time to go to the pub – he's making a mountain out of a molehill.
It's only a 2000 word essay; stop making a mountain out of a molehill!
我们多用这个表达来形容某人把一件小事故意扩大,使其看起来比实际的糟糕。And Rob, not finishing a script for this programme is a small problem.
Rob
If you say so, .
Just do what we always do – 临场发挥。Make it up!
Rob
OK, I'll try. Hold on, what's that?
Look! A real mole has buried into the studio – so now we have a real molehill to make a mountain out of.
You would never have written that in a script Rob!
Rob.
True. Bye!
Bye!
